T-Roll Section 139 Carrots and sticks, slap a sweet date
Feng Ziying, who walked in proudly, didn't have much expression on her face, but her eyes searched the hall and noticed a few vacant positions.
For these businessmen, indiscriminate goodwill will only be despised for him, especially since he is less than seventeen years old, and I am afraid that many people regard him as lucky enough and hard enough background.
He had made all kinds of thorough preparations before, and even considered that the gentry and merchants here in Fujian and Zhejiang might be delayed because of the distance, so when he went down to Yangzhou, he had already asked Wang Wenyan to inform the merchants from all over the country.
If you really want to participate in this matter, you should have been waiting here when you arrived in Yangzhou, and you have delayed it for a few days, that is, I hope to leave enough time for these people to prepare.
I didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to come out of the moth, just to be late or not to arrive.
Feng Ziying wasn't sure what the reason was, it was nothing more than that she felt that someone behind her had a background, or that she could handle herself, but it didn't matter.
"You may be seated." Feng Ziying raised her hand, her eyes widened, and she raised her hand again, "Sit down, sit down, all of us here today are the heroes who are interested in the imperial court opening the sea trade, we still have a few hours to think about it, so don't think about it when you stand like this,......"
Everyone is still thinking about this young writer who is responsible for going south to deal with the affairs of opening the sea first.
Well-informed people have already received the news, although this one is young, but the strategy of opening the sea and banning the sea trade was proposed by this person, and he can also get the approval of the cabinet and the emperor, and he has a deep background.
But when he heard this person's words, he didn't seem to be that arrogant, and he seemed to be very modest.
"Everyone's here?"
Turning his head slightly, Duan Xigui had already bowed, "Back to my lord, there should be fifty-seven people, but there are forty-nine people, and there are still eight people who have not arrived." ”
"Well, when the time comes, what should I do if the people don't arrive? You can't just sit and wait for them, can you? Feng Ziying instructed very casually: "Remember, if you don't arrive this morning, then it will be regarded as automatically giving up your maritime trade qualifications, if you are late for less than an hour, the concession fee will be increased by 10%, and if you are late for less than 2 hours, it will be 20%, and so on, I estimate that we will also discuss less than three hours, so let's ,...... according to this example."
"Since you don't respect the affairs of the imperial court to open the sea, and you don't respect the officials and the princes who come on time, then you either rely on your wealth and arrogance, or you are above the top and don't take the court in your eyes, so it is necessary to set an example, and please supervise ,......" Feng Ziying looked around with a smile, "This official has just arrived, and he doesn't like that kind of act of standing up for power, but he needs to maintain the prestige of the court, so when you handle it with this, you can write it down and see if it is handled like this in the future,......"
Before the words fell, two people hurriedly came in under the guidance of the servants, and when they saw the whole room, there was silence and they were also stunned.
"Look, this is the wealth, how long has it been, there is less time for a cup of tea, tsk, don't talk about it, invite the two of them to sit down, since the rules have been set, you have to do it according to the rules in the end,......"
Feng Ziying didn't bother to ask who it was, she sent it to the door by herself, it would not be enough to kill chickens and scare monkeys, but it was necessary to have a little more money to let everyone have a long memory.
"Okay, let's get down to business, Ruixiang, send the book to you, please read it first, if you are illiterate or unclear, you can ask each other, I will give you two incense sticks of time,......"
Ruixiang had already distributed the prepared books and materials to everyone in advance, and when they heard Feng Ziying say this, everyone began to read it.
This kind of punctual meeting, advance information, first read and then explain the explanation, then ask questions and explain doubts, and finally in the way of comprehensive summary, in fact, is very common in the modern administrative management system, but in this era it seems too unconventional.
In particular, the materials of this volume were prepared in advance, although it was best to say hello to the representatives who hoped that they would be able to read, but in this era, literate people are always a minority, and there are still many businessmen who are illiterate, or can only recognize some common words, and it is a little difficult to read such a material.
Jia Lian and Duan Xigui looked at Feng Ziying, who was sitting above the lobby with a light and breezy appearance, and they both had inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
Although they all know that this brother Keng'er, who has known each other for many years or has watched him grow up since he was a child, is different from today, but after all, he still heard a lot and felt less intuitively before, and most of the time he still heard about Brother Keng'er's demeanor from the mouths of some other people around him.
But today is different.
They watched as dozens of gentry giants from Jiangnan were overwhelmed by Feng Ziying's momentum, and although they didn't know each other, they were seated in the opposite seat, and they also knew that one was the Han family from Ningbo Mansion.
The Han family is not simple, his family is not only the top ten squire landlords in Yin County, his cousin serves as the imperial historian in Henan Province, and a nephew serves as a co-governor in Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan.
One is from a Jinshi, and the other is also from a Renren, which can be called a standard gentry family.
But Feng Ziying didn't give half face, and the other party didn't dare to have any attitude.
The other is the Ding family, a sea merchant from Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture, with dozens of ships under its banner, of course, it cannot be recognized by the outside world, and it is said that it is also linked to Japan and the Ryukyus, but at this time he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he shrank in his position with his tail between his legs, and he didn't dare to squeak.
Since mutual questioning was allowed, the hall quickly became lively.
Some of them are really illiterate and need to ask friends, while others do not understand some of the terms and need to discuss with each other.
Feng Ziying also ignored it, and just picked up the tea and tasted it carefully.
Seeing this situation, most of the people in the hall were relieved, it seems that this person has already planned the whole strategy, and now it is issued to everyone, I am afraid that it is to let everyone get familiar with it, so that it can be implemented in the next step.
"The lower official advises you to take a serious look, don't feel that it doesn't matter, it seems that the court has roughly decided, and let everyone come is just going through the motions. If you have the heart to work in the maritime trade industry for a long time, and even want to become bigger and stronger, then you should at least understand the intentions and thoughts of the imperial court, and then think about how you can cater to the strategy of the imperial court, combine your own advantages to earn more silver, and let the awakening also give you the greatest support,......"
Feng Ziying's half-true reminder made some people's hearts feel terrified, could it be that their own thoughts were seen by this cultivator again?
I have to pretend to read it carefully, so as not to upset the revisionists.
As soon as the time for the two incense sticks arrived, Feng Ziying began to take over the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone has already understood the preliminary ideas and plans of the imperial court before, well, it is basically written in this book, you can think about it carefully, and this book will be taken back later, even if there are some improvements in the future, but I believe that the general principles will be determined, and there will be no major changes."
Feng Ziying sat up straight, standing tall like a lion, with her eyes level, "You may not know me well before, of course, some people may have known about me through various channels in private, but this doesn't matter, I am a person who will understand when everyone has more contact in the future, and I will most pursue a principle, integrity, I must do what I say, and if I can't do it, I don't say it, so I also hope that when I deal with you, I will also uphold this principle." ”
There was no sound in the hall.
Just listen to these words, a young man under the age of seventeen, well, from the Hanlin Academy of Liupin, even if he has the opportunity to stand up for this maritime trade matter, but to say such big words, it is a bit exaggerated, even Guan Yingzhen does not dare to say such a big thing.
Feng Ziying didn't care, if he changed him, it was impossible to believe it easily, but it didn't matter, there was time and opportunity for them to know themselves in the future.
"Let me first give you a rough introduction and interpretation of the purpose and significance of the opening of the sea by the imperial court, of course, including the plans and practices of the imperial court, as well as some policies and support ,......"
Feng Ziying got straight to the point, "......, open up the passage between Ezo and Hercynian and Savage Jurchen, I know that everyone may find it difficult, but the imperial court has a clear attitude, and the trade exclusivity between Japan and Korea will be tied to this matter, and you may already know that some of the Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants here, well, have taken the initiative to leave Fujian and Zhejiang to go to Denglai, and are willing to take such a risk, because they know that they can't compare with you, so they have to fight, and the imperial court welcomes such an expedition attempt. So of course we have to support it, but the court also welcomes everyone here to try,......"
These words caused a sensation among the people in the hall.
Japan's sea trade is an important target after Luzon, Manraka and Franco, and Hongmaofan, and there are too many people staring at it.
Although judging from the current situation, the Tokugawa family controls most of Japan and adopts the mode of closing off the sea trade and leaving only one or two ports, but when the Great Zhou Dynasty begins to fully open up the sea trade, this situation will obviously not be allowed to last long.
The same is true in North Korea, where the rhetoric of the Revisionist has made it clear that the tributary system will be abolished altogether and replaced by a fully liberalized private trade, and that such trade will be ensured.
No one can say exactly how big these two markets are, but they are definitely not small.
And if the trade cannot be achieved smoothly, then the fleet of sailors built by the imperial court will come in handy.
It's no wonder that this cultivator has repeatedly emphasized the need to open up the path between Ezo and Hercynian and Savage Jurchen, and if he doesn't give the army an explanation like this, how can he make the sailor fleet really die for the sea trade?
